In these 12 chapters we see Jeremiah placed in a cistern of mud to die, others who sought his life, yet God protected him. We also see that Judgment comes upon Judah and Jerusalem, and Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, burns Jerusalem and the temple to the ground. Jeremiah and Baruch stay in Jerusalem, but after Gedaliah, the governor which King Neb. put in place was killed, many Jews run to Egypt for protection, and they take Jeremiah and Baruch with them. We see the Lord pleads with His people to listen to Him and obey, but over and over and over again, they do not. We also see that the Lord blesses those who do obey.
